The Red Sox will try and repay the Orioles for their extra-innings loss Wednesday night as they send Josh Beckett to the mound against Wei-Yin Chen. First pitch is at 7:10 p.m. EST, with broadcasts by NESN and WEEI.

After a disappointing start to the season, the Red Sox will finally make a move that seems long overdue, dropping Adrian Gonzalez to sixth in the order. The All-Star first baseman--tonight playing right field-- is hitting just .262/.316/.407 so far on the year--more the stuff of a #8 or #9 hitting shortstop then a middle-of-the-order corner infielder, but has still never dropped below fifth.

The Sox will otherwise be stacking their lineup against the left-handed Chen, with Darnell McDonald making his return from the disabled list and Mike Aviles leading off.

1. Mike Aviles, SS

3. Kevin Youkilis, 1B
4. David Ortiz, DH
5. Will Middlebrooks, 3B

7. Jarrod Saltalamacchia, C
